Calliope Sofianopoulos, founder of Metaphrase, is a bilingual professional with extensive experience in Greek and English Translations. After completing her Primary studies in Melbourne, Australia and her Secondary and Tertiary studies in Athens, Greece, Calliope began a Teaching career in 1986. A registered teacher of English as a Foreign Language with the Greek Ministry of Education, Calliope later studied Modern Greek through a Bachelor of Arts course at La Trobe University in Melbourne.
In 1992 Calliope was accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators & Interpreters (NAATI) at the Professional Level (Level 3 Translation – Greek/English) before returning to Greece in 1993. She has since specialised in legal and business translations both for businesses and government bodies in Greece and the European Union, as well as for lawyers, corporations and government agencies in Melbourne, Australia. After living, studying and working for half of her life in Melbourne and the other half in Athens, and translating for almost 15 years, Calliope founded Metaphrase in 2006 – a provider of Greek translation services.
As a NAATI Accredited Professional Translator, also registered with the Greek Consulate in Melbourne, Calliope is qualified to certify translations both for the Greek, as well as for the Australian Authorities.

“With such a rewarding career path behind me, I look forward to a future in which I can continue to offer the best possible service and to be as proud of my work in the Industry today as I have been in the past. During the course of this work, I have had experience in translations for business, legal, personal and other matters, on my own as well as with the help of my trusted associates.”
